the

district

courts

opinion

We have reviewed the record and

and

find

no

reversible

error.*

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss on

the reasoning of the district court.

See United States v. Woods,

Nos. CR-91-1; CA-97-100-V (W.D.N.C. Feb. 1, 2002).

We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED

Woods appeal of the February 1, 2002, denial of his motion

for reconsideration, filed on April 12, 2002, is considered timely
because judgment was not entered in a separate document
requirement.
See Fed. R. Civ. P. 58; Fiore v. Washington Co.
Community Mental Health Ctr., 960 F.2d 229, 234 (1st Cir. 1992);
Hollywood v. City of Santa Maria, 886 F.2d 1228, 1231 (9th Cir.
1989) (Rule 59 motion); Hughes v. Halifax County School Bd., 823
F.2d 832, 835 (4th Cir. 1987) (holding a document that attempts to
combine the courts reasoning and its final disposition is not
likely to be considered a separate document under Rule 58).
